Currently, I'm trying to learn NodeJS. With the advent of webassembly, I'm wondering how it will affect NodeJS. Often, people mention that web assembly ''is the Javascript killer''. Although one of the creators of web assembly mentioned himself that this is not a valid statement, it seems more true if you think about it (why the hell would you use JS for the front-end if there is something faster and more elegant to use).HOWEVER, for the back-end, will it affect NodeJS? I don't think it will affect anything if V8 supports wasm. Isn't webassembly only a front-end thingy? Although, one might wonder.. why would you then use javascript for the backend if the frontend is in say java or c#? Perhaps learning node.js is not a great idea at all anymore?
